Bioactive Materials welcomes new Associate Editor: Anirban Sen Gupta

Dr. Sen Gupta is the Director and Principal Investigator of the Bioinspired Engineering for Advanced Therapies (BEAT) laboratory. Dr. Sen Gupta received his MS (in 2001) and PhD (in 2003) from The University of Akron, Ohio, with focus on polymeric biomaterials engineering. Currently he is a primary faculty of Biomedical Engineering (Full Professor with tenure) at Case Western Reserve University (http://bme.case.edu/FacultyStaff/PrimaryFaculty/SenGupta/). Dr. Sen Gupta has served for 10 years as the chair of the Biomaterials Engineering Track in the BME department at CWRU and he also has served as the Program Chair for the Biomaterials Education SIG in the Society for Biomaterials. He teaches several courses involving biomaterials, drug delivery, nanomedicine and quantitative biomolecular engineering. The research emphasis in his laboratory are in the areas of blood compatibility and blood-materials interactions, engineering of synthetic blood cells, targeted drug delivery in cardiovascular and cancer pathologies, and interfacial engineering for enhanced biocompatibility.
